Here’s a small asset I did, once again for a competition over at the awesome community Game Artist!

Wireframe

Texture sheets

Few weeks ago, I participated on yet another speed texture competition, which I am also proud to say it got first place!

By the way,  some people asked me for the high polys, so here it is, the full thing!

there’s everything in there, .MAX with the original high poly, the low poly (just a plane )
and I’ve also included the original PSD files for all the maps. I’ve resized them to 1024*1024 tho,
as the originals were 2048*2048, they got to big to pack it into a RAR file.

I used xnormal to bake my original piece, but if you select the plane on the .MAX file It’s already set up
to render using Max’s baker.

You’ll need XOLIUL viewport shader to properly view this in Max’s viewport, I’ve placed it on the RAR as well,
just in case. (Although, you wont have parallax mapping on it, that’s why I used marmoset to submit my final pic)

This is it, keep in mind of course, that [U]I’m sharing this solo for your learning![/U]
I’m all for freedom of information and transparency, so I hope I encourage others to do the same
and share their workflows!

Be nice!

It has come a long way since I started this small project, then Lee joined along and after a few weeks Buddy joined in as well. Thing is, I’m so glad they did cos I don’t think I would make it on my own, it was a very ambitious scene!
But here it is, dead line for the competition is finally over and here is what we submitted, enjoy!

I would also want to thank Honza Rükr (creator of the website, Aliens Papercraft) who has helped us providing really great reference material for us to work with, he was a valuable help!

Movie: Aliens (1986)

Scene: Exterior of colony LV-426. (Hadleys Hope)

We already gathered a lot of really useful references from the Aliens fans websites, and the Making-of, from the movie, and got started modeling some of the stuff from the scene. For now, I’m modeling vehicles and smaller props, and Lee is taking care of the buildings. Dead line is 29 March, so we don’t have much time left, but I’m pretty confident we will finish it on time.

Now for the fun part, here’s a few screenshots of the stuff we made so far. (needless to say, all this stuff is still very WIP)

APC, high poly

A bit old, ingame screenshot. (Objects without textures)

Finalized APC with baked normal maps, and AO. (3DsMax viewport screenshots)

Lee has also been doing a really great job with the buildings, here’s some screenshots from his work:

For more info, and more up-to-date progresses, and some more props I didn’t posted on this blog post, check out our thread, over at GA foruns:

PS.
If you’re interested, you can also take a look at the refs we’re using, here:

Results, first place.

Highly inspired by Eat3D tutorial: Old Pillar, I’ve made this prop from scratch!

The high poly mesh was sculpted on MudBox, low poly modeling on 3dsmax and textures on photoshop.
The Low Poly mesh has around 2000 tris, and all the texture maps are 1024*1024.

I’m working to put this prop into cryengine2, and when I’ll do so, I’ll post it here!

I hope you enjoy it, and as usual feel free to post on the comments section with constructive critics!

Here’s the first of many to come, something simple, an old radio.
I used only a specular and difuse map, with a poly count of 1100 tris.
